Some family from Italy gave me their old Ashton-Drake dolls a few years ago, and I was wondering what they would be worth. All that I got from them is in the photo.

Your touch my toes doll is missing her head piece (she should have a band to hold her hair). If she was pristine, she is valued (in the US) under $40 (none have sold in ages) so I can't give you any sold prices. If you are elsewhere, the value may be different. Let me see what I can find about the others.
All of these are so cute and how nice to receive them as a gift.
The doll market is flooded with all kinds/brands of dolls and in comparison to the number of dolls listed for sale, the sales are a very low percentage.
Of course, no one knows when a doll will sell and I feel sure some sellers are lucky and their dolls sell quickly as many things can trigger a sale.
It looks like your dolls are being listed on an average of $40 each but I could not find any evidence of any one of them as being sold over a long period of time (I did not see all sold dolls, I'm sure).
I believe these dolls are the style that smaller children will fall in love with - if they have the opportunity to see them.
I know that not everybody is into having yard sales (me for one) but if you or a friend happens to do this sometimes, you would probably receive more for each doll than trying to sell in any other fashion.
Otherwise, I would suggest you list them on sites like Facebook Marketplace, offerup, letgo and any other sites you're familiar with.
Start the price higher and maybe even offer local pick up with no shipping involved (dolls are easily broken in shipping).
If no one shows an interest you can lower the price.
Ashton Drake has their own website and it looks like they have been selling only 'lifelike' dolls for several years.
A friend told me that Ashton Drake Company is sending catalogs to assisted living facilities and nursing homes where they're hoping (I think) relatives of 'disturbed and patients with memory problems will see the 'babies' and order one.
I have seen cases where just regular dolls have worked miracles with calming a patient that had problems like this so maybe it is a good idea.
These dolls are so lifelike you could easily mistake them for real babies.
I want a Pony is also being sold in the $40 range, although none have sold at any price in ages!
Is the girl in pink movable (arms and legs)? How tall is she?
I am not able to locate anything about the one in the pink outfit. I thought maybe she was part of the So Truly Real series, but I have not been able to find her.
Tickles from Teddy is a consistent seller at $20-25.
I am not able to find the one with the playmat. I am thinking the mat is not original to the doll. How tall is the doll on the playmat?
Smell funny is also a consistent seller in the $20-25 range.
The values I am giving if they are pristine, no smells, and have the box and any other paperwork. You will fetch less with no box and any smells (especially smoke) will render them valueless.
With more info, I can see about helping on the two I have questions about! Thanks!
This doll is adorable , because it is not in its (new)
original packaging , it is considered used. You may get up to $40 for her. Here is a link and doll similar and asking price. Remember that these are asking prices , not sold prices. lwww.ebay.com/
I am not sure if you actually have these dolls because all you said in your post is that you just got the photos of the dolls and don't have them. I really think it would be best if you actually had the dolls first before trying to figure out the pricing of these dolls. I am not sure how old the photos are or if the dolls condition has changed since they sent you these photos.
